Lyrics:
Slip slidin’ away
Slip slidin’ away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you’re slip slidin’ away
I know a man
He came from my hometown
He wore his passion for his woman
Like a thorny crown
He said, “Delores, I live in fear
My love for you’s so overpowering
I’m afraid that I will disappear”

It's 1978, 4 AM on a Friday night, and I have this playing softly on my stereo after everyone is asleep.
-
I had a women slip slide away on me I raised a son without her he is now practicing medicine has children of his own now life has been good to a old plumber he still calls for advice
-
He wore his passion for his woman like a thorny crown. What a lyric!!!!!
-
Believe we're gliding down the highway when in fact we're slip sliding away... DAMN, brilliant.
-
You never truly understand this song until you are older. It’s an absolute masterpiece ❤️
-
"A good day ain't got no rain, she said a bad day's when I lie in bed and think of things that might have been". That line kills me every time I hear it.
-
This song means so much more to me now then it ever has. Living life for 61 years the ups and downs, love gained and lost, the pain, the pleasure. Amazing how life will change you, and your perspective, if you live long enough.
-
If you ever need a boost in spirit Paul, just read these comments. Such love vibrating your way! I'm such a big fan of your work, thank you for what you have done for this world.

The older I get the more I appreciate this song.

I sang this song when I was a kid, when I didn't even know the meaning of the words, when my dad was nowhere to be found & my single mom struggled to raise me & my 2 sisters... I've been fortunate to have wonderful, strong women who raised me, my grandmother as well, but no father figure. Hug your kids, guys, & be the best dad you can be, that's more powerful than you could possibly know & more valuable than all diamonds. My best to everyone ❤️✌️

"I know a father who had a son..He longed to tell him all the reasons for the things he done.. He came a long way just to explain.. Kissed his boy as he lay sleeping then turned around and headed home again" my dad did that very thing after him my mom split up. Didnt see him for a year and then he came to see me while i was sleeping one night. Miss you pops R.I.P. Jeff Scott Sr. Jan 20th 1965 - Nov 15th 2012. 🤘✌❤

“The nearer your destination, you know the more you’re slip sliding away.” So true. Love this song.
-
Paul Simon is the best singer/songwriter that ever lived. Change my mind.
-
God only knows, God makes his plan The information's unavailable to the mortal man -Such an incredible lyric
-
Part of the reason i listen to older music as a Gen Z is because of the sweet comments of older generations sharing their memories and meaningful stories that connect to these songs ❤
-
Such a beautiful song. I lost the love of my life to cancer, I miss her always, I'll love my Brenda Gail Always! "Slip sliding away in what's left of my time, laying my body next to my Lady
-
This song came out in 1975 , I was a senior in high school .I am now 61 and we are all slip sliding away. we are all mortal and are here for a very brief moment in this life. let us all come together as one people one Earth.
-
I'm slip sliding away. I will be a faded memory one day. God Paul knows.
-
Time is slipping away, it may seem as though time creeps by but it isn't is passing in a blur. I tell the youth to take life as borrowed time, I am in my 60's now and wish I could have done more, seen more, lived more. Use your resources to enjoy everything you can as quickly as you can, don't waste time it will end before you least expect it to

Best of times those you shared Best times show that you cared Best of times enjoy they are rare Best of times behind you prepare For Best of times is a rocking chair
